DJ Reflex (6)

A prominent name in the Urban Latin Industry was born and raised in Bushwick Brooklyn, NY. Growing up listening to Hip Hop, Salsa (inspired by his father), and Disco (inspired by his mother), Reflex heard his calling at a young age. At the age of 12 he received his first pair of turntables and a mixer for his birthday, which for him was the beginning of something big that was yet to come. DJ Reflex spent a lot of time releasing mix tapes and spinning at local parties for friends and family. The idea of becoming a DJ came from his mentor NYC Urban DJ Tony Touch. Tony Touch who played a big roll in showing Reflex the ropes of being a DJ began to involve Reflex in many of his performances. By the age of 15, his dedication, enthusiasm and passion for music attracted the attention of many NYC promoters who hosted parties at various venues such as Latin Quarters and so fourth. In 1996 Reflex came across a new project Tony Touch was working on called Guatauba. Reggaeton in New York what!!!! Being the first time Reflex had heard Reggaeton his ears were opened to a new type of music. In a years time Reflex went from listening to the music to actually being involved in the music. Fast forward to the winter of 1999 DJ Reflex was granted the opportunity by Executive Producer Manolo Guatauba to work on the Guatauba 2000 CD as collaborator for the album. This grand opportunity allowed him to join forces and become the exclusive DJ for Reggaeton Icons Daddy Yankee and Nicky Jam.
